LAUNCHX431 PROS V+ 5.0,Bidirectional Scan Tool with 2025 Newly Released DBSCar VII Connector,38+ Reset for All Cars,ECU Online Coding,CANFD,FCA AutoAuth,VAG Guide,2 Yrs F-Ree Update

This scanner works super fast during use, i didn't see any bugs or quirks. PROS V +doubles my productivity in the garbage. For instance, with XTOOI D8BT scanners, i can check 3-4 vehicles per day. But with this PROSV+, the number of vehicles can be up to 9 per day. D8BT is quite weak compare to PROSV+. It can not stand heavy workloads, when i use it continuously and ask the scanner to do many tasks, it will be laggy. I mean this scanner is still fast, it just gets overworked sometimes. D8BT can not beat PROSV+ when it comes to vehicle coverage. Surrended by numerous bidirectional scanners in the market, i know it is hard to choose the best one. I have tested many bidirectional scan tools on different vehicles, And I'm here to let you know that there's nothing called a “perfect one”. Each has its pros and cons. So if the pros satisfy your needs, and if you can stand the cons, That's what matters.

I have tried the FCA auto auto and the scan tool works well with it. In the future I would like to expand its capability and purchase the oscilloscope.

I've discovered it is actually quite handy for several things on sprinters, both new and old. I have used it to reset mass airflow adaptations after fixing offset drift codes when the factory scan tool (Xentry) was giving me issues. I use it all the time for clearing faults after repairs and for performing regenerations while I'm busy using the Xentry. It also has a nice feature where it can record data/custom data lists and switch between graphing or numerical data and I can go back and look at data frame by frame leading up to a fault which is very handy since I am the only Sprinter tech at my shop with nobody to monitor data while I drive or vice versa.

I eventually decided to purchase a Launch X431 PROSV 5.0(l got a saleand paid$677)very similar in functionality to the V+(maybe even exactly the same), i'vebeen using it with a mi-fi router so l can have internetout on the road whichworks great with multiple devices and let me watchyoutube and access technicalinfo etc.The interesting part is, it would beep to remind me of the wireless dongleDBScar Vll so it never gets forgotten, that my old snap on would not (the donglefor the snap on is giant, which is such a waste of space).

Es un excelente producto , es la razón por que lo compre

I used this tool several times. Overall it is an excellent tool with outstanding functionality. It performs many tasks that Snap-On and Autel can’t handle, which can be critical in certain situations. For instance, I recently replaced the HVAC module on an F-150, which required a PMI process. Autel failed to support it, but the Launch device completed it effortlessly—saving us both time and programming costs.

Only one star because I can’t give quarter stars. The product itself may be a decent product, but the compatibility with my vehicle isn’t. The company, Launch, is very vague about whether or not it would work. When it didn’t, the company continually shifts blame and responsibility back to the seller,Amazon. Amazon says contact the seller, Launch says that I didn’t buy it from them, so I have to go through the seller, Amazon. And round and round the denial process goes with Launch. It makes me wonder if product sales are slow enough that they CAN’T give a refund for return because EVERY sale keeps them afloat.Either way, I would look at more reputable and well known software companies than these chuckleheads!!

Let’s start with the cons. The first issue is that automatic VIN reading didn’t work on any of the cars I tested. If I used Intelligent Diagnostic, I had to manually enter the VIN. It would only pull the VIN when I ran a Local Diagnostic, and even then, I still had to input the make and other details. To say I’m a little disappointed is an understatement. I have a $100 scanner that automatically pulls this information, so for an $800 scanner, you’d expect it to have that capability.Now, let’s get into the pros. The report it generates looks very professional, making it easy to email or text to clients. It provides a ton of information, runs quickly, and has amazing battery life. I’m comparing this to the Oto D1 Lite, but that’s not really an apples-to-apples comparison—this scanner blows it out of the water in terms of performance, features, and battery life.The bi-directional controls worked well with no issues; everything seemed spot on. It did lack features on older cars, but I’d probably need OEM tools to access those anyway.Who is this for?I’d say it’s perfect for an advanced DIYer or a mobile mechanic. For the most part, this scanner has you covered and outperforms Autel, Snap-On, and the new Icon line. With two years of updates included, it’s kind of a no-brainer.This tool can take your diagnostic skills to the next level and handle a lot of the heavy lifting, but it won’t do everything—you still need the knowledge to read charts, interpret data, and diagnose issues properly.Some bi-directional controls include:• Brake service mode• Oil light reset• Horn activation• A/C clutch activation• …and more.Final Rating: 4 out of 5If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it—it’s a worthwhile investment.Update I just got a launch x431 apex 3 and the intelligent diagnostic worked with almost every car for 700 plus you pay for the v5 you would expect it to auto read vin.
